In terms of legit sites, I really doubt it. When searching for a broker I suppose legit means regulated and with a long track record, things which no one that I know of can really offer in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

there is 1broker, yes. i believe simplefx and tradersway also have stock indices (if not individual tech stocks as well). however, these companies can best be described as "bucket shops." they are not regulated and i don't feel especially safe leaving much funds on site. use them at your own risk.

First of all I want to ask, why do you want to spend your bitcoin directly on stocks when you in the future could clearly earn more from it?I would not sell my coins if I were you, certainly not before next year's halving. After that you may want to reconsider this.

I would love to play with some of the "traditional" stocks (not crypto related) using my Bitcoin so I don't have to leave the Bitcoin ecosystem to do so. I've become used to crypto exchanges and im honestly too lazy to deal with all those odd looking (to me) stock exchanges. I would love an exchange that feels like Poloniex or Crypto but you are able to deal with Tesla, Netflix, Microsoft etc.. stocks, a crypto -> stock exchange.

Why expose yourself to completely and utterly pointless and very significant risk just for the honour of paying with BTC? Sell them and use a legit broker. You may be humiliated by your peers but at least you'll actually own what you laid out for.

If you're looking to buy an actual company, 1broker is no help to you. They don't sell stocks, they sell a derivative based on the underlying security, and this is a significant difference. As far as I know, nobody accepts bitcoin for stock trades. If you want to buy an ownership in a publicly traded company, stay away from any broker who isn't licensed and regulated, and definitely stay away from 1broker.

I was thinking the same thing. Online discount fiat based brokers also probably offer better margin rates and trading commissions (because of more competition) and insurance against theft.

As there are no decent BTC exchanges offering RL stocks, you can only use normal stock exchanges only. If you want to buy normal stocks for you bitcoin, speculate a bit and then sell them (or if you want to firstly sell them and after a decent fall in price buy them again) you should consider the volatility of the BTC price as well.No BTC is accepted as a payment for stocks or you can't use it as an equity to top up your trade account with.Only thing you can do is to exchange your BTC to fiat every time needed and after a trade you can exchange it back.I think there is no as high volatility on normal stock exchanges than in BTC price. Let's imagine that you buy fiat for your BTC, buy a stock, sell it with 5% profit and you buy BTC again for your fiat to finish the transaction. It can happen easily that the volatile BTC price has fallen by 5% since you have converted your bitcoins in the beginning. In this case your profit is 0, and we have not included the fees and the tax of the 5% profit of the normal stock exchange trade.
